COLE’S SON TESTED AS A POSSIBLE KIDNEY DONOR
Ailing singer NATALIE COLE’s son has undergone tests to establish if he can donate a much-needed kidney to his mum.
Cole, 58, has been battling ill health since she was diagnosed with hepatitis C in 2008. She suffered kidney problems while she was being treated for the liver disease, and is currently undergoing dialysis three times a week.
The only cure is a kidney transplant - and the star reveals her 31-year-old son Robert is being checked out as a possible donor.
Cole says, "My son may be a possible match. It’s very sweet and kind of strange to have people offer something like that." Last month (Jan09) it was reported that Cole’s sister Timolin was also being touted as a possible donor match.
